Public should be patient with stores in distress

Circuit City will be closing soon. Unfortunately, another victim of the economy. I was recently in the store and witnessed something that needs to be addressed. There were many customers who walked into the store and made comments such as, "Are you hiring? Oh no, you are getting fired."

Another gentleman berated the manager as well as several employees about the exit doors. He claimed to be a fire marshal, but never showed identification. He became involved in a conversation that was none of his business. Nevertheless, when all was said and done, the police were there.
I am saying to those insensitive people who were there being obnoxious to cut the staff some slack. A lot of these people are trying to figure out how they are going to feed their families or pay college tuition.
The manager said it best. While he apologized if anything was done wrong, he tried to make this " fire marshal" understand that Circuit City's hands are tied. The liquidation company has already taken over.
Please try to understand, Mr. Joe Public, and be more patient. This could very well be you or your child one day.
